Where to stay for Coachella 2026
Trade in the tents for a relaxing vacation rental oasis for you and your crew.
Indio is one of your best options for a Coachella vacation home. The festival grounds are within the city limits, meaning you’ll have unbeatable access from your front door. With hiking trails in the nearby Coachella Valley Preserve, multiple golf courses, and the city’s iconic colorful murals, Indio is an ideal festival home base.
Palm Springs is another perfect location for your Coachella experience. Beloved for its 1960s retro vibes, mid-century modern architecture, and Old Hollywood glamour, this city is a top choice for lodging. It’s just removed enough from the festival grounds to feel like you can unwind after a day of dancing in the sun. If you’re wondering how far Coachella is from Palm Springs, it’s just a 30-minute drive or shuttle ride away, granting ease of access as well as a laid-back feel.
Palm Desert is the high-end sister city to Palm Springs, noted for its country clubs, boutique shopping, and art galleries. Stay in one of our luxurious Palm Desert rentals, just 10 miles west of the festival grounds. In between shows, you’ll have plenty to explore, like farmers markets, a year-round street fair featuring local artisans, a number of golf courses, and The Living Desert Zoo & Gardens.
Vacasa offers dozens of vacation rentals peppered throughout Coachella Valley. From cute, adobe-style homes in La Quinta to sprawling luxury estates in Palm Desert, there’s something for every festival-goer. No matter where you end up, you can come home to a beautiful Coachella vacation rental and unwind together after a long day in the sun.
The Coachella Valley Music and Art Festival returns in April. It will take place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
